Questions people ask
What does this actually check?
Document info (author, creator app, title, dates), embedded XMP metadata, embedded file attachments, JavaScript/auto-run actions, and author names left on comments or annotations.
Will cleaning break my PDF?
No — it only removes metadata and hidden extras, not the visible page content.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No — scanning and cleaning both happen entirely in your browser.
